Optimized Cool Coatings as a Strategy to Improve Urban Equivalent Albedo at Various Latitudes

This research study aimed to investigate the influences of angular-selective retro-reflective (AS-RR) and retro-reflective (RR) materials on the urban equivalent albedo (α<sub>eq</sub>). Full ray tracing solar analyses were conducted through the Monte Carlo-based numerical model validate...
